Notes

Tokyo 2020 – 10,000 yen. Japan. Yabusame and Shin-gi-tai. Yabusame is a type of traditional Japanese mounted archery. An archer on a galloping horse fires “turnip-headed” arrows, which produce a whistling sound, at three wooden targets. Shin gi tai, the unity of thought, technique and physics, is a fundamental notion in martial arts. Donation by the Japanese Mint
